Course: Association of COVID-19 Infection With Survival After In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Among US Adults

CME Credits: 1.00

Released: 2022-03-02

Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, investigators reported poor survival rates (<3%) after in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) among patients with COVID-19 infection in the US and China.- These findings have prompted discussions regarding universal do-not-resuscitate orders for patients with COVID-19. However, these results were from single-center studies that comprised only 295 patients with COVID-19 in hospitals that were overwhelmed early during the pandemic. Whether the poor IHCA survival rate reported in earlier studies is broadly representative of patients with COVID-19 in US hospitals remains unknown. This study examined the association of COVID-19 infection with survival outcomes of US adults after IHCA.
